FLASHING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 21, 1916.

Application filedFebruary 24, 1912. Serial No. 679,739.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, JOHN E. LLoYo, a citizen of the United States, residin at Hous ton Heights, in the county of arris and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flashing, of which the followin is a specification. My invention re ates to new and useful improvements in flashing.

The object of the invention is to provide a device of the character described, which is designed to be secured upon roofs and around pipes, which may lead from the interior, through the roof, to the exterior of the house, so as to form a Water tight joint between the roof and pipe.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention has particular relation to certain novel featuresof construction and arrangement of parts, an example of Which is given in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation of the flashing, showing a section of pipe secured 'tended to closely surround the therein, and Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates a plate of lead, or other similar material having a central orifice 2, there through, which is surrounded by an upstanding annular flange -3, integral with the plate 1 and having an overhanging annular rim. 4 around the upper edge thereof. Alined with the orifice 2 and upstanding from the plate 1, at an angle corresponding to the pitch of the roof, is the sleeve 5, also formed of lead, which is inipe and whose upper end may be easily cal ed in so as to fit closely against the pipe 6 and form a Water tight joint therewith, as shown in Fig. 1.

The upper end of the sleeve 5 is surrounded by an annular ring 7, which is dove-tailed into an annular groove surrounding said said sleeve and close pipe and which is composed of solder or sleeve and'preserve the roper form thereof.

In forming this flashing, the plate 1, with its up-standing flange 3 and overhanging rim 4 is first formed and the sleeve 5 is then molded thereon, the ring 7 being secured in the molds so as to form in the metal as said sleeve is being molded and in the process of the formation of the sleeve 5 the'same becomes integral with the plate 1 as well as with the ring 7 and the flashing is thus formed into one continuous integral piece.

What I claim is A device of the character described composed of a metallic plate having an orifice therethroughto permit the passage of a flue pipe, an annular flange integral with the plate and upstanding therefrom and surrounding said orifice, an annular overhanging bead integral with and-carried by the upper edge of the flange, a sleeve Whose lower ends surround said flange having an internal annular groove in which said head fits thereby securin the sleeve to the plate, said sleeve surroun in said orifice and ipe, a ring surroundin t e upper end 0 the sleeve and dove-tai ed therein, said ring being formed of tenacious material and rein forcing and reservin the form of the free end of the s eeve, an an inwardly extending flange projecting from the free end of y surrounding the pipe passing therethrough.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing .witnesses.
